She was an avid golfer and spent 30 years managing the clubhouse at the Teulon Golf Country Club, retiring in 1996 with a lifetime membership. Roxy spent many years at the rink cheering on her favourite hockey teams whether it be Stew or her sons. She enjoyed her many golf trips to Florida and California with Stew and their special friends Stan and Marg Charison. Roxy loved entertaining and enjoyed their morning coffee sessions with her many friends. She loved a good game of Skip-Bo or FreeCell, and always enjoyed her outings to the casino. Roxy and Stew spent many hours together preparing hundreds of jars of pickles from their garden that she shared with everyone. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, February 7 at the Teulon Rockwood Centennial Centre at 2:00 p.m. Cremation has taken place and a private family burial will be held at a later date.
